Faulkner House, Colonial home in Acton, Massachusetts.
The Faulkner House features traditional Colonial architecture with symmetrical windows, a central chimney, and wooden clapboard siding characteristic of early Massachusetts settlements.
Built in 1700, the house served as a garrison during Queen Anne's War and played a role in Paul Revere's midnight ride on April 18, 1775.
The property represents early American textile manufacturing, as the Faulkner family operated one of the first large-scale woolen cloth production mills in the United States.
The Faulkner House, maintained by Iron Work Farm in Acton Inc., opens for guided tours during specific local events throughout the year.
For 202 years, six generations of the Faulkner family lived in this house while operating their textile business across the road.
